What I never understood are the warnings for "NSFW Audio!". In what world do people listen to sound at work without headphones? I would think at most workplaces ANY audible audio is NFSW due to annoying others.

Reminds me of a woman from a preseason NFL game I attended a few years ago. She was pretty hilarious. She kept yelling "C'mon, do some football sh*t!" and variations thereof. Funniest was probably "C'mon Ben [Roethlisberger], do some of that receivin' sh*t!"

YMMV, but I have worked with populations of disturbed children and Tourette's manifests itself in many ways. The shrill style of speech in both ladies presented is too similar to be ignored. Not only that, but that they same the same things over and over again. Another good bet is Asperger's syndrome, but both are likely IMO because of the repetition of the same phrases. The shrillness of delivery makes it seem like Tourettes, but that's just based on my experience with both populations as youth.

My understanding is that Tourette's is about sudden and unpredictable verbal and motor tics, not a persistent desire to use curse words or confront other people verbally.

Arkanaut:kwame: She paid for her damn ticket. If you can't handle someone enjoying a match, go watching people play chess in the park, you pansies.

Tennis has this thing about decorum. It's kinda like golf, where you're expected to enjoy the competition without producing more noise than what would be polite.

Exactly.

If I'm at a concert or a football game, I don't get upset about the people in front of me standing up or making a lot of noise, that's expected behavior. If I'm at a tennis match or the symphony, then not so much, again expected behavior.

/I just wish they would start throwing out the loud douchebags at the golf tournaments.

Additionally, loud noises from the fans are considered distracting for the players, and the chair ump will often tell fans to STFU (well, you know, "quiet please") before a service. I've actually even seen fans yell "out" and confuse a player who then doesn't return the ball and loses the point.

Well, sometimes, but a verbal tic can literally just be repeating "no, fark you" while persistently clearing your throat. And they don't have to be the same 1 thing over and over. It can be like a soundboard sometimes where they repeat like the same 5-10 things (along with throat clearing or something similar). And the physical tics are similar. We had one kid that always had the same tics. If you asked him a question, he would slap both of his shoulders. If he walked through a door, he would face the wall next to the door and spin. They can be completely situational. This seems like more of that "I don't give a shiat." "fark you" with the standing and the "come on play tennis." Like I said, it fits the bill for me, but other people who have worked with different populations might see it differently. IANAD.

Extreme Tourette's (or "movie Tourette's") is the classic "coont face!" "ball-licker" "eat dicks!" but that even follows the pattern of same 5-10 things repeated ad nauseum. And it's superduper rare. I never worked with that population.

idesofmarch:I hope you die in a plane crash so I can say at your funeral, "If you don't like being incinerated in a giant fireball, take the bus."

It would be hilarious if his fireball of a plane crashed into your "too cool for a fireball" bus and he survived only to go to your funeral and be like "if you don't want planes crashing into your bus, pony up for a subway ticket."

kwame:lakrfool: So did everybody else sitting behind her. And she didn't even have to stand because she was on the front row of that particular section.

If you don't like people standing in front of you, pony up for better seats.

Just to be clear though, this is not the right way to think about seats. You pay for a seat to watch a sporting event. You should be able to watch it sitting down. If you pay for standing room only, you should expect to stand (in the "stands" no less).

I hate people who go to events and can't let people around them enjoy themselves. I don't care if it's the cheap seats. A ticket is not a invitation to be an asshole. It's why I tend to watch movies in the theaters through Amazon Instant Video. People in the theaters don't care about making disruptions.

She has a variation of Tourette called DT's, as in Drunk Tourette syndrome.
